9.8.1 NOAA Weather Alert (USA version only)
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as storms and hurricanes,
the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and transmits a subsequent weather
report on one of the NOAA weather channels.
The
GX2400GPS
can receive weather alerts when monitoring a weather chan
-
nel and on the last selected weather channel during scanning modes or while
monitoring a working channel.
To enable the weather alert function, refer to section “
”.
When an alert is received on a NOAA weather channel,
scanning will stop and the transceiver will emit a loud
beep to alert the user of a NOAA broadcast. Press any
key to stop the alert. After stopping the beep sound, the
weather alert reception confirmation screen will appear. Press [

a confirmation screen. The confirmation screen will ask you whether to move
to the weather channel or return in the marine channel. Press [
YES
] to switch
to the weather channel, and press [
NO
] to return to the marine channel.
NOTE
If no key is pressed the alert will sound for 5 minutes and then the weather
report will be received.
